If I recall, the device was still secure in safe mode using sophos.

Sophos Mobile Control worked well for us on some Android tabs.

I managed to install Windows server 2012 R2 onto a Sun X4140 without the need for additional drivers, it just worked. Can't say if the same is true for the x4150, but may be worth a shot.

date_default_timezone_set('Europe/London'); echo(''); /* print(Date("l")); echo(' '); print(Date("F d, Y")); echo(' '); echo(' '); */ $hour=Date("G"); $minute=Date("i"); $Beat=Date("B"); /* echo ".Beat Time is ". $Beat ." "; echo "Real Time is ". date("H:i:s") ." " ; */ if ($Beat < 361) { echo("Before School"); } if ($Beat >=361 && $Beat < 375) { echo("Registration"); } if ($Beat >=375 && $Beat < 410) { echo("Period 1"); } if ($Beat >=410 && $Beat < 444) { echo("Period 2"); } if ($Beat >=444 && $Beat < 455) { echo("Morning Break"); } if ($Beat >=455 && $Beat < 489) { echo("Period 3"); } if ($Beat >=489 && $Beat < 524) { echo("Period 4"); } if ($Beat >=524 && $Beat < 566) { echo("Lunch"); } if ($Beat >=566 && $Beat < 569) { echo("Registration"); } if ($Beat >=569 && $Beat < 604) { echo("Period 5"); } if ($Beat >=604 && $Beat < 639) { echo("Period 6"); } if ($Beat >=639) { echo("After School"); } echo(''); ?> I worked out the @Beats from Internet Time - Swatch® International, the conversion is to about +/- 40 seconds which is good enough for me. PeriodFiles.zip

I have managed to get the above script to work after a fashion. I saved the script as a PHP file (period.php) to c:\xampp\htdocs\ and then added a webpage region in my Xibo layout and pointed it to http://myserver/period.php The problems that I originally had is that the script returned multiple periods as trying to perform calculations based on times are difficult (for me anyway!!!) The way I got over this was to use Internet Beats instead of conventional times, this made comparing start/finish times against actual times a lot easier. The other issue I had is down to daylight saving, the PHP script did not appear to take into account daylight saving and the periods would be 1 hour out. I now have a Summer and Winter PHP file and just swap out as required.

You could install WordPress on the same server as Xibo, if you are self hosting, and use an RSS feed into Xibo. I have tested this method and it worked well, not given the option to the staff yet.

Not tried it myself, but you could try 'Dashboard Cast' from the Google play store. Not sure how configurable it is. You would of course need 1 tablet/phone per screen. What about using a cheap tablet with an hdmi output direct to the screen?

Hi Zourous, just had a look for the diagnostic tool on our server but could not see it. Can you confirm which of the 4 modules you are running it from. Thanks

Kjadams - enjoying a day out on Wednesday.

Fantastic series. Managed to find the whole series on the Internet a few years back, really enjoyed watching them all again.

We have recently had to increase the size of the drives on a number of our virtual servers. We were pointed to the ExtPart utility on the Dell website. It's a command line tool that expands the drive to utilise unused space on the fly. Just add more space in vm, than run this tool and you're done.

PocketCloud by Wyse works well, available from Google Play.
